About Hycosys

Hycosys is a deep-tech engineering company developing advanced hydrogen-capable power and propulsion systems, with a core focus on Micro Gas Turbines (MGTs) and high-speed turbomachinery. We follow a strongly engineering-driven approach grounded in first-principles analysis, high-fidelity simulation, and disciplined experimental validation to mature technologies from early concepts to reliable, deployable hardware.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Materials and Manufacturing Engineer to support the development and industrialization of high-temperature hardware for advanced turbomachinery and MGT systems. The role focuses on material selection, process development, manufacturing qualification, and supplier interfacing, with strong emphasis on metal additive manufacturing and high-temperature joining processes.

Key Responsibilities

  • Select and qualify high-temperature superalloys for combustors, turbine components, and structural hardware
  • Develop, optimize, and qualify LPBF metal additive manufacturing processes
  • Define and support post-processing routes including heat treatment, HIP, machining, and surface finishing
  • Develop and qualify laser welding, brazing, laser drilling, and EDM processes
  • Act as technical interface with vendors for manufacturing trials and issue resolution
  • Collaborate with design, combustion, structural, and systems teams to ensure manufacturability
  • Support supplier evaluation, audits, and manufacturing readiness reviews
  • Investigate manufacturing defects and material failures through root-cause analysis
  • Ensure documentation, traceability, and compliance with quality standards

Must-have Requirements

  • Master’s degree or PhD in Materials Science, Metallurgy, Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline
  • 3–5 years of industrial experience in materials and manufacturing for high-temperature applications
  • Strong knowledge of nickel-based superalloys (Inconel 625/718, Hastelloy X, etc.)
  • Hands-on experience with Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF)
  • Exposure to laser welding, brazing, laser drilling, and EDM
  • Experience working directly with vendors and manufacturing suppliers
  • Strong technical communication and documentation skills

Good to Have

  • Experience with hot-section components such as combustor liners, turbine wheels, or NGVs
  • Exposure to coatings and surface treatments (aluminides, MCrAlY, TBCs)
  • Understanding of metallurgical characterization and inspection techniques
  • Experience with prototyping, low-volume production, or manufacturing scale-up
  • Familiarity with aerospace or power-generation quality and supplier systems

Compensation & Location

Competitive compensation aligned with experience and industry benchmarks.
Location: Whitefield, Bengaluru, Karnataka.
